Trade-in a Integra

[Spinout]

How much would a dealer give for a 94' Integra Gsi if I was to trade it in and get a another car?
Oh I might ad that the car is on finance at the moment, that is why.

[imminent_]

although i'm not exactly sure, my friend has a 94 ford laser - market value of around $8000 give or take - a ford dealership offered him $1500

there's something to work around

[Spinout]

Omg! that is ridiculous.
I think I won't go for that option then.
hehe

Although she is 10 years old, Honda hold there value check it out, know halm better than asking here :P

[Spinout]

Check what out?
At the dealers?

[CJL]

yeah go to some dealers, trade ins are always good less hassle with tire kickers you don’t necessarily get the best price but makes things easier
If your thinking of another Honda (trading honda 4 another honda) you'll more likely get more for your integra cause it makes there job easier having 2 the same make....

well normally they wont give you too much for your car but because your trading the car in they more likely to give you less for the new car your buying. which in the end works out to be the same if you buy the car without trading it in and selling your car privately.

depending on the cars condition and kms.... probably around 6 - 8k

i hope that helps

dont bother man, private sale will get you much more dollars!

dealers and trade ins are a joke, they give a price well below value..,

just like dealers sell their cars for more than private, they buy them cheaper than private = big profits for them!

Yeh I know that, but I am still on finance.
Still have about 3 yrs left to pay off this 10 yr old car, and I want a different car.

But Im not really sure on which way to go at.
Does it work like this, umm just say I have $10k still left to pay off and I want to trade it in for a different car worth $18k.
Doest that mean they put the $10k left to pay off my old car onto the new price of $18k, which makes it $28k and then minus how much they value my trade in for example $8k, which them totals the amount to refinance for $20k?
Is that correct?

[CJL]

hmmm yeah basically

[FANATK]

put simply:
you buy a car for $x less your trade in value, than add what is owing on that trade in

[Spinout]

hmm then that is like losing all of my 2 yrs payment already made.
and starting all over again.

ah! i guess this ideas not a good one at all.

Don't get me wrong I love integras but this Gsi AUTO, is a pain. I guess i bought it when I was 17 and didnt know what I wanted.
But now I want either a turbo car or a Type R.
And I dont know whats the best ways I should go of getting rid of this financed car, still being payed off.
